Trimble SPS785, SPS986 GNSS Smart Antennas

The SPS785 GNSS Smart Antenna is a GNSS receiver that has full satellite coverage with the combination of GPS and all GNSS constellations.

A workflow with the Siteworks Positioning Systems means that everyone on the job site can use the same data and work on the same platform. For added protection, the SPS785's radio antenna fits inside the range pole.

The SPS986 GNSS Smart Antenna is specifically designed for rugged job site measurement applications, and is now available with a dynamic tilt upgrade. The dynamic tilt feature allows for faster data collection to enable construction surveyors to create larger digital terrain models faster and with improved accuracy, the company says. It is designed to capture higher accuracy measurements on steeper slopes from a moving vehicle and more accurate volume measurements.

The dynamic tilt measurement mode also auto-measures antenna height. From inside the vehicle, contractors can set the height of the antenna and quickly interrogate surface models using the real-time 3D surface display in the company’s Siteworks field software.
